I just watched your video, while going to sleep in the back of my truck. I am pre-fishing San Diego Bay today and tomorrow, obviously spending the night in the cab of the F250. The sacrifices we make for the sport or simply unbelievable. Nicely done Greg.
Two days of getting beat up by careless and simply oblivious yacht owners..........and the spotties having lockjaw......end of Sunday....found em. Now have to stay on top of them until January. It was brutal.
Im up in Bentonville right now watching this last video of the series. Thanks Greg for showing us your prep, thoughts, strategies and time on the water for a tournament. It helps me be a better kayak angler.
Man!! Your caught that big one and I got excited! Time hit 2:pm and I said “aww man”. My wife said “what’s wrong?”. When I told her she rolled her eyes and smiled. Great series. See you in 3.
Awesome videos man! I strive so hard to be the fisherman you are. Every time I watch your videos I get so much inspiration and drive to try new things and to go the extra mile. You’re such an awesome guy. Thank you so much for your videos.
thats really awesome to hear man. I'd say the "secret" in being a better fisherman is time on the water. Trying new lakes, new techniques while still having fun. Been a huge learning experience for me the past 5-6 years and every season I continue to try and improve. Time on the water though has been the biggest thing for me
Hey Greg, I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I am a big fan. The production quality makes the videos fun to watch but more importantly, you are a true sportsman. I Laughed at how excited you were getting near the end; we all know the fever. Good work my friend. Keep the videos and content coming.
You did great man! It was tough for a lot of people. You have to remember you fished with the best of the best and came in 16th overall. I’m already getting excited for next year. They already released the schedules for most the trails here in Texas.
Unfortunate Greg, was thinking you were going to catch another big one at the end. But thanks for bringing us along on a great vacation for ya. Win or not, I would always rather be fishing than working. “Thank you Sir!”
You are still did great. Awesome how well you did considering how far you were from home. Your release through the kayak hole made me think of the Russo’s hole lol.
Solid effort Greg! Still not a bad finish with 9 fish. I just ordered a dozen of the Keitech football jigs. Never used tungsten jigs before and I know they're going to make a big difference feeling the bottom. Tight lines homie.
Well I woke up early and was gonna go back to sleep until I saw this vid pop up lol. I had to watch it. Great vid as always Greg and you definitely put the work in during this tourney. I bet your legs were sore 👍👊.
Amazing what a difference just getting a limit would have made! Heartbreaking. Especially considering how well you did in the pre-fishing when you actually STOPPED fishing because you were catching too many big fish!?!? Be proud of your mental toughness though. You have got flustered in the past but you stayed focused the whole time, which is all you can do! Next year is yours.
Great hustling Greg you really gave it your all. With all that $$$ on the line I'd be shaking and heart broken as well. This is being human live and learn buddy, great effort.
Hey man it happens 🤷🏽♂️. Great year though and hopefully you have a better year next season. Not to great your fishing some of the same events I am so..... 😂
Greg Blanchard LoL you never know bro worth the gamble and sometimes, most times, it pays off and if you don’t try it, it’ll haunt you afterwards like damn I should’ve done this... freaking fishing 🎣 such an addiction!
You know your catch is small when you can release em through the scupper. LOL! You seriously fought a good, hard fight, though. Sucks that you couldn't get that 5th fish, but, that's the way it goes. Win some, lose some.
Hey congratulations on 16th. At least you finished in the top 20 that was a new lake for you plus it was a tough lake. I actually think you did well considering all the factors you was faced with Greg. Good luck on your next tournament Greg. Keep your head held high man. 🙂
bennysupreme1, he uses Fish Sticks KVD Lure Enhancer. Pretty sure he was using the crawdad scent on the jig. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Fish_Sticks_KVD_Lure_Enhancer/descpage-FSLE.html
You always display such a positive attitude! That makes your fishing adventures easy to watch.
Through the scupper hole. LOL
Such a tough break not hooking up with that last keeper. You win for best fish release thru scupper hole. You had me laughing so hard, thank you sir!
I just watched your video, while going to sleep in the back of my truck. I am pre-fishing San Diego Bay today and tomorrow, obviously spending the night in the cab of the F250. The sacrifices we make for the sport or simply unbelievable.
Nicely done Greg.
Man I can relate! I usually fall asleep to fishing videos or a podcast when I truck camp! hope you got on em!
Two days of getting beat up by careless and simply oblivious yacht owners..........and the spotties having lockjaw......end of Sunday....found em. Now have to stay on top of them until January. It was brutal.
Thanks for doing what you do. Integrity comes to mind. And your efforts are appreciated by many good people. Beautiful environment there in AR.
Greg's tough day: releases fish through scupper hole.
Good day for me: releasing a bass through a scupper hole 😂
Had one of those not talk about kind of days. You tube and this old video comes up. Thanks man! Put my mind in a better place.
You gave your best shot and fished your ass off. Hats off to ya and the rest of the anglers .🍻🎣

Well done Greg. Tough conditions on a tough lake. You may have started a new trend with that scupper hole release.LOL
haha, oh man, i dont wish the scupper hole release on anyone! lol
Man!! Your caught that big one and I got excited! Time hit 2:pm and I said “aww man”. My wife said “what’s wrong?”. When I told her she rolled her eyes and smiled. Great series. See you in 3.

Thanks Jordan, awesome to hear! Haha, love showcasing and conveying the overall experience. tight lines!
Dude keep it up. I am an old man and I like watching you.
Love your channel man. Definitely my favorite kayak angler to watch. Great effort Greg!
Great video and really showed the tough choices of tournament fishing. LOL on the bass release through the scupper.
You're the only person who makes me want a kayak!!
do it man!
Great job man, love the positive mental attitude.
Great video series! Congrats on a very respectable finish under tough conditions in unknown waters!
I'm telling you Greg, there is someone in that tournament stock piling big bass in a secret location. Agh!
sounds like Mike Long
Well done Sir. Congrats on a fantastic season this year. I really enjoy watching your videos and hope to run into you next year at a couple tourneys.
Thanks Bryan! For sure, come up and say hi if we're at the same event
I fish a kayak tournament back in July and I only had 4 fish. I know the feeling of not catching a limit . You still did great Greg. Awesome video
Good luck Champ!! Now onto the vid. Just waiting on my coffee. Already know I'm going to learn something and enjoy the vid as always. 🎣🙏
Damn 1 fish shy. But hey this is what we live for. The adrenaline rush, the pressure and the moment.......BOOM!!!
great tournament year, wonderful job Greg.
Tough luck on day 2, but you absolutely did your best putting in the work. Congratulations either way, it's been a great year for you!
MY buddy was there, and he said it was hard to establish a pattern. Good job, no matter what. See you at the KBFNC.
You did great man! It was tough for a lot of people. You have to remember you fished with the best of the best and came in 16th overall. I’m already getting excited for next year. They already released the schedules for most the trails here in Texas.
hell yeah man! gonna try to make lake fork!
Fish realesed through the scupper. "Tough day" LMAO.
Greg, I hope you enjoyed fishing my home state, please come back and shhhh......we only have a couple hundred more great bass lakes 😉
Unfortunate Greg, was thinking you were going to catch another big one at the end. But thanks for bringing us along on a great vacation for ya. Win or not, I would always rather be fishing than working. “Thank you Sir!”
You are still did great. Awesome how well you did considering how far you were from home. Your release through the kayak hole made me think of the Russo’s hole lol.
Great job man I live here in Arkansas, and I know how tough it can get on Ouchita. Awesome video and was fun to watch. Best of luck next time Greg!
You get em next time glad ya enjoyed Arkansas hope ya have safe travels back home
What an awesome experience. Keep up the good work.
Solid effort Greg! Still not a bad finish with 9 fish. I just ordered a dozen of the Keitech football jigs. Never used tungsten jigs before and I know they're going to make a big difference feeling the bottom. Tight lines homie.
Awesome man! those jigs are legit!
@@GregBlanchardFishing just got them in and they look awesome!
This was really fun to watch! Great job Greg. See ya next season!
Thanks for vids. Fun to watch!
Win or lose, I so much enjoy your videos. Your positivity is inspiring.
Thank ya sir
Well I woke up early and was gonna go back to sleep until I saw this vid pop up lol. I had to watch it. Great vid as always Greg and you definitely put the work in during this tourney. I bet your legs were sore 👍👊.
Always love the tourney vids! Nice job brotha

Thanks Brian! I'm continually learning and trying to improve. Tournament fishing is a whole different animal especially from a kayak!
Great Job... And welcome back home to Cali...
Awesome video Greg, you did good still.. Love it 👊👍
Man that sucks not getting that limit on day 2 that’s Arkansas lakes for ya though. Big washing machines. Everything constantly changing.
Totally awesome Greg!!!!!!
Keep up the positive attitude.
great time with you cant wait for more
Great tourney Greg. Good finish. As usual love the content man.
thanks man
Absolutley love ya videos
Always great content. You keep it real and definitely keep it classy. You're a class act!
That was funny when he released that dink through the hole of the kayak 😂💀
Solid effort during a tough bite. You finished a lot higher in that tournament than I would have, for sure!
Great job, sir. Hell of a year!
Thanks Ken! I'll probably see ya in 2020, NC's and then Lake George in May!
I will be at both! =)
May try to get a Hobie by spring, the Kayak I got is good but Hobie seems to be a Cadillac!
nice job Greg.. and nice video. im watching your video from Italy. ciao!
Thanks Matteo! Very cool!
Great vid!
Solid job - great experience
Great hustling Greg you really gave it your all. With all that $$$ on the line I'd be shaking and heart broken as well. This is being human live and learn buddy, great effort.
That’s why you need to just get a limit first, then go for some big ones. I’m sure you could have had another 12 incher on those bluff walls.
Wow one fish would’ve made a huge difference. 16th to 6th just for 12 inches. Great tournament Greg, amazing content.
Thanks Jacob! Yep, tough break but that's how it goes sometimes!
Tough day but well done. If only you had made a switch to the coves like a little early but hard to say what would have happened. Real good video.
Great tourney! You fished hard.
Scupper hole release is the best thing I've seen all day.
what is a good fresh water spinner reel
I love the scupper hole release 😂
Nice job buddy, way to rep CA!
You really should have tried jigs one those bluff walls in my opinion.
Way to grind bro!
Hey Greg what scent are you using I seen you rubbing it on your dropshot worm
Always pulling for you man. I syay in sac. Maybe we could go fishing sometime
Good vid
Hey man it happens 🤷🏽♂️. Great year though and hopefully you have a better year next season. Not to great your fishing some of the same events I am so..... 😂
haha, its on!
Hey Greg another good video I'm sure you will get em next time because you are am awesome fisherman.
Damn bro great solid effort I was really rooting for you and hoping you pulled another heroic win lol 😝
the heroics have officially stopped after this one! haha
Greg Blanchard LoL you never know bro worth the gamble and sometimes, most times, it pays off and if you don’t try it, it’ll haunt you afterwards like damn I should’ve done this... freaking fishing 🎣 such an addiction!
liked the beginning monologue
You are a great storyteller on video.
You know your catch is small when you can release em through the scupper. LOL! You seriously fought a good, hard fight, though. Sucks that you couldn't get that 5th fish, but, that's the way it goes. Win some, lose some.

Thanks Steven! Great time and experience. no complaints! well, except for not catching a 5th fish lol
You are a great fisherman! Awesome video man and if you get a chance you should check out the Jenga block lure making challenge we started!
A Hobie would’ve made that traveling around the lake a little easier. I used to have a titan for a year but made the switch
Hey Greg: Great effort in Arkansas! Were you using a rented kayak? or borrowed kayak? or what?
Thanks Larry! Ozark Mountain Trail Company graciously lended me a demo titan for the week!
Curious! What techniques did u all use?
the winner was fishing a chatterbait on the bottom real slow!
Do you HAVE to use a hobie kayak for this tournament?
nope, any brand of kayak allowed! Hobie is just the sponsor
Hey Greg what boots do you wear? The link stopped working to fishUSA
Hey Daniel, NRS Boundary boots, great boots and NRS has some new ones coming out for 2020 that look better
How’s the sensitivity on that Phenix Rod?
It's good, I've caught fish down in 50+ foot on it and detected the bite
Greg Blanchard thx Greg!!
Hey bro love your content
What rod do you use?
most deserving person to win all tournaments to be honest🤷🏼♂️
what were you putting on your rage tail?
bennysupreme1, he uses Fish Sticks KVD Lure Enhancer. Pretty sure he was using the crawdad scent on the jig.
www.tacklewarehouse.com/Fish_Sticks_KVD_Lure_Enhancer/descpage-FSLE.html
C’est la vie 🤷♂️
see you in Alabama
Lake Ouachita used to be a lot better. Around 1999/2000 was a great time to fish it. Any more, it’s a frustrating lake.
I hope u win
You ever thought about using some sort of wireless mic? Love watching the vids man 👍🏼
i have but seems like too much extra work lol.
You sound a little more outta breath than usual. Missin that torquedo lol
i most definitely was and i missed it every second! haha
What a great series Greg, now get back to Cali and pump out some of the best content on UA-cam as usual
8:44 hahahahahaaha
Way to grind hard and pedal harder
Do you own a spinnerbait?
